It looked like it was going to be a bleak Christmas for three children in the Goodview area, although their mother, Cheyenne Martin, is thankful that her whole family is safe, even though she lost everything.

Local law enforcement spread Christmas cheer Saturday morning. It was their second annual Shop with a Cop.

“We had 22 police officers and 22 kids,” said Bedford Police Chief Todd Foreman.
The officers included Bedford Police officers, Bedford County Sheriff’s deputies and Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Conservation Police.
“All of the money was raised by donations from members of the community,” Chief Foreman said.

The Bedford County Public Library System has a new telescope to lend out to anyone who has a library card for awesome views of the night sky.
This instrument is a great introduction to the galaxies and stars that fill the sky. With this easy to use and transport, telescope, you and your kids can see the craters on the moon, most of the planets, including the rings of Saturn, and Jupiter’s four moons.
